Method, not mythology
About the archive
What counts
Yahoo-era history comes from an immutable SQLite migration source. Sleeper-era data comes only from Sleeper’s public, read-only REST API. Final provider totals are authoritative, except for five reviewed synthetic-playoff corrections where the legacy merger demonstrably counted IR points.
What does not count
Byes never become wins. Consolation games do not become playoff appearances. Seasons marked “needs review” may be browsed, but they stay out of career totals, rivalries, and records until their topology and outcomes are approved.
Freshness
During the active season, a Cloudflare Worker checks the current week every 30 minutes. The browser polls this site—not Sleeper—every 45 seconds while the scoreboard is visible. Last-known scores remain available if an upstream request fails.
Corrections
Every manual correction is structured, version controlled, idempotent, and accompanied by a reason. The site never silently rewrites a historical score.
